And when he treads in our palaces,
Then we will raise against him
Seven shepherds and eight princely men.

And when he treads within our borders.

8 And the remnant of Jacob
Shall be among the Gentiles,
In the midst of many peoples,
Like a alion among the beasts of the forest,
Like a young lion among flocks of sheep,
Who, if he passes through,
Both treads down and tears in pieces,
And none can deliver.

And destroy your cchariots.
